Colorado @ Los Angeles preview

Last Meeting ( May 15, 2015 ) Colorado 4, LA Dodgers 6

Zack Greinke attempts to remain unbeaten when the Los Angeles Dodgers host the Colorado Rockies in the third contest of a four-game set. The right-hander has allowed one run or fewer in five of his seven starts while holding hitters to a collective .185 average.

Greinke is 22-1 against National League West teams since joining the Dodgers and aims to give the club its second straight victory after losing the series opener Thursday. Los Angeles shortstop Jimmy Rollins had a season-best four hits and homered for his 900th career regular-season RBI in Friday’s 6-4 victory. Colorado shortstop Troy Tulowitzki departed Friday’s game was tightness in his left quadriceps and his availability for Saturday is uncertain. Tulowitzki has struggled with injuries since 2008 and only played in 91 games last season.
